(ADW) A group of 14 guys is about to embark on a charity cycling trip from Luxembourg all the way to Vienna in Austria, a trip of about 1,100km!

But this is not the first time “Liontracks”, as the organisation is called, has peddled afar. Last year they made it to London and the year before to Paris.

Each year the aim of the cycling event is to raise money for the local children's charity Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner, providing help and support to children with cancer, and their families.

Last year Liontracks raised 12,000 euros for the charity with its trip to London but they are aiming much higher for 2013. This year their goal is to raise 30,000 euros and they are looking for sponsors and donations.

Set-off Saturday with City mayor Xavier Bettel

The 14 cyclists will start their tour from Place Guillaume II on Saturday, June 22, at 9am. Luxembourg City mayor Xavier Bettel will be present to wish the guys well and send them off on their grueling journey.

Wort.lu wishes Liontracks a great journey and will be following their progress!
